Cadet Spirodopoulos stands accused.  Will his short Academy career survive the ravages of prejudice?

Sometimes the eidetic Cardassian memory is the most dreadful burden of all.

Glinn Tayben Berat knows he wants to survive. But how?

Written for the July 2009 TrekBBS Writing Challenge.

(This story takes place in 2369, just a week after the events of Lois Tilton's novel Betrayal, and almost six years before "Let He Who Has Eyes See," so be aware there are extensive spoilers for her book.)

Cardassians don't rebel.  For years untold, that has been the prevailing belief in the galaxy--and among the Cardassians themselves.  But what happens when a Cardassian is pushed to that breaking point?  How does he come to that place, and where will he go from there?

On AR-558, an atrocity of a weapon calls for an atrocity of a solution.

Dr. Sekdain Istep, CMO of the Cardassian warship Trager, is stretched like never before when he becomes part of the Thirteenth Order rebellion and finds his practice expanding in a way few Cardassian physicians have ever had to contend with.

(SPOILERS for The Thirteenth Order up to Chapter 16.)

This is the tale of how darkness fell over the Mirror Universe, as remembered by one who is of the Prophets, in the presence of a very different Dukat who is of neither his universe nor the Mirror.

(Story begins with an excerpt from The Lightless Ends of the World, co-authored by myself and Gul Re'jal--section written by NG, though there is one mention of Gul Jarol, who is Re'jal's character.  Originally submitted as a writing prompt response on the forum.)

There is nothing more precious than the purity of an uncorrupted dream.

Before the years of pain and anguish each universe knew in its own way, those who would someday be known as Cardassians marveled at the revelation of a whole other world right in their backyard.  Can you imagine what it would be like if Mars still boasted a breathable atmosphere and running water?  Tehir and Miti Mejurak could tell you all about it...

Like ripples in a pond, even a year after the attack on the Kelvin, the changes to this wounded timeline have already begun to spread beyond the Federation's borders.

See through the eyes of a Vulcan, a human, and a Cardassian as dreadful circumstances force two powers into much closer contact much sooner than they ever would have had otherwise...
